While I was in North India I decided to travel to a 'new town' called Chandigargh to check out the famous rock garden there, and it was AMAZING! The story goes that a man called Nek Chand built the entire place secretely over the course of about 30 years using rubbish from the demolition of the original Chandigargh town. He was only discovered in 1975 and now his creation has become a national treasure, what a crazy brilliant man he must be!
